"Je rêvais de retrouver la trace et l'image d'un saint Louis à l'humanité sensible, un saint Louis de chair, à figure humaine. Le temps, en l'élevant au-dessus de nos natures, lui a peut-être rendu un mauvais service. Il m'a imposé d'aller puiser aux sources les plus authentiques."

1421. A França parece prestes a perder a guerra contra a Inglaterra. Enquanto o país se afunda na lama de batalhas sangrentas, o povo passa fome... e o rei permanece escondido. Desse caos surge uma jovem capaz de mudar o rumo da guerra e liderar os franceses à vitória. E o nome dessa garota imprudente, obstinada e brilhante–uma heroína improvável–ecoará através dos séculos: a guerreira, a herética, a santa Joana D'Arc.

Among Irish saints, Brendan the Navigator is second only to Patrick. Founder of several monasteries, he most famously guided a group of monks on a dangerous journey into the unknown vastness of the ocean on a search for Paradise. Based on the medieval "Life of St Brendan," Morgan Llywelyn's imaginative retelling of the Christian legend of this most remarkable man is a lyrical and surprising feast for the mind and heart. It is a story of truth and transcendence, and inner strength and daily discipline, a story of love and longing, and a story of towering faith. And of course, miracles.
